Part 15 FCC Compliance Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Operating Environment
For Home or Office Use
Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation, if this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution
To comply with the limits for the Class B digital device according to Part 15 of FCC Rules, this device must be installed
in computer equipment certified to comply with the Class B limits. All cables used to connect the computers and peripherals
must be shielded and grounded. Operation with non-certified/shielded cables may result in radio/TV interference.
Modification
Any modification not expressly approved by the manufacturer of this device could void the user’s authority to operate
the device.

Part 68 FCC Compliance Statement
(FCC ID : 4J2SNG-47095-DL-N)
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the equipment is a label that contains, among other
information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this
information must be provided to your telephone company.
Connection to the telephone network should be made by using standard modular telephone jack type RJ11.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those
devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected
to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined
by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue your service
temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon
as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
2

Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect
the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted telephone service.
In the event this equipment should fail to operate properly, disconnect the unit from the telephone line. Try using another
FCC approved telephone in the same telephone jack. If the trouble persists, call the telephone company repair service
bureau. If the trouble does not persist and appears to be with this unit, disconnect the unit from the telephone line and
discontinue use of the unit until it is repaired. Please note that the telephone company may ask that you disconnect this
equipment from the telephone network until the problem has been corrected or until you're sure that the equipment is
not malfunctioning.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject
to state tariffs.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic
device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top
or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification
of the business or other entity, or individual sending message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such
business, or entity, or individual.
This user information can be programmed in the communication software you are using with your equipment.
Repair or Service Information
In the event of the need for service or repair, carefully package the unit along with a note of the problem and send it
to the address below or the authorized service center nearest you. Be sure to include your address (not a P.O Box),
telephone number and best time to call.

Industry Canada Information
NOTlCE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means the equipment meets
telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as described in the appropriate Terminal
Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the
user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or
alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company
cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines
and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important
in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
NOTICE:
The
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number
of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any
combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all of the devices
does not exceed 5.

ADSL USB Modem Easy Start
Troubleshooting
Q: I am not getting any connection. The modem Power LED lights up and the
ADSL Link LED keeps blinking (The ADSL Link LED does not remain light
up).
A: Check that the Telephone cable (RJ-11) is connected to the LINE jack on
your modem and not to the TEL jack. If this problem persists, please check
with your ADSL Service Provider.
Q: I am getting poor ADSL speed performance from my modem.
A: i) Place your modem away from devices or appliances such as monitors,
exposed computer systems (with chassis covers removed) or another
modem which exhibit magnetic fields that may cause interferences to your
modem line.
ii) Ensure that Micro-Filters are used for phone sockets at different telephone
points that are sharing the same phone line.
If your modem speed or performance is still unsatisfactory, please contact your
ADSL Service Provider.
Q: Do I need to use Micro-Filters when using ADSL ?
A: Product model DSL100U has a built-in Micro-Filter. Thus, external Micro-
Filter is not required.
For product model DSL100U(M), Micro-Filter is required when you are
sharing your ADSL line with your telephone set. If your house has more
than one Telephone sets all sharing the same ADSL line, than each of the
Telephone sets will have to be connected to a Micro-Filter (connect Micro-
Filter between your Telephone set and Telephone wall socket).
Micro-Filters eliminate noise on the telephone line to ensure the best
possible phone performance. If the DSL uses a different line and not sharing
with your telephone, then a Micro-Filter will not be necessary.
(If you are unsure of your product model, refer to the label at the bottom of your
modem casing.)
